So, you thought the Xantia plastic clip was daft !!!!

Post by slim123 »

Morning all.

I got a call yesterday from a friend, he said that his clutch or cable had gone on his van (Fiat ?????)

Went round to take a look and it is the same as the Relay / Boxer van, (transit size) BX 1.9 diesel engine and all that jaz.

Removed the cable and all looked OK apart from this rather odd looking piece of broken plastic on the floor!! On closer inspection, the whole clutch pedal is plastic and has broken at the top where the cable clips on. So a new pedal is needed and Fiat aint got one!

Does anyone know if this is the same in the Boxer / Relay, they must be all built at the same factory and badged to suit the companys.

I thought that the Xantia clip was bad, but this is beyond belief.

Regards
Slim.

Don't Fiat use their own engines and transmission?

If so it's likely the clutch pedal is unique to Fiat.

J5, Ducato & C35 were all manufactured on the same plant - using the same selection of basic parts.
Back in CX era it was wellknown that a 2.5diesel from one of the above models could easily be modified to fit a CX diesel.

I'd be surprised if that coorporative plant was discontinued on later models.

This is for series 1 Jumper vans (series 2 & 3 have hydraulic operation) :

Thanks for that Anders. That pedal assembly looks to be exactly the same as the picture printed off at the Fiat dealers, so it looks as if I can get one from Citroen and it will fit. :lol:

Forgot to say, Homer, it is a BX 1.9D engine, (no turbo) but not the same gearbox.
